Pamela was a great tour guide. We hired her for our group of 5 to pick us up from our cruise and take us to wineries, a chocolatier, and provide a scenic tour as well. She can customize it to your liking, all we had to do was let her know our wishes. The van was spacious and comfortable and we were happy to not be cramped on a group tour bus. Our first stop was at a chocolatier for samples which were delicious! I wish I had purchased some chocolate to eat with the wine tastings! We then went to 4 different wineries/vineyards and had a wonderful experience with each of them. We enjoyed the education about the land and wine business and New Zealand, in general, that Pamela provided during the commute, as well. We went to a local restaurant for lunch which served fantastic food and were pleased with Pamela's recommendation. We had the opportunity for quite a few scenic photos through the travels and we returned to our drop off point in plenty of time to make it back to the ship. If you have the chance to book a private tour with Pamela while in Picton, it will be worth it!
